News Five took your questions to the top Friday, and we've got some answers for you.
We asked Northrup Grumman and EADS officials the questions you submitted on wkrg.com.
For instance: "Will employees of aerospace firms in the Mobile area be blocked from jobs with Northrop Grumman and EADS?"
Paul Meyer, Sector Vice President for Northrop Grumman, said, "I cant say the answer is 'No' if someone sees an opportunity for advancement. But its not that we're going to be attempting to take people away."
Another viewer wants to know: "When will the company start filling jobs?"
Company officials say the process is getting started on-line.
Myers says, "You can go directly into the Northrop Grumman job directory to see what will be available here for Mobile. A similar situation, I believe, will be in place for EADS."

All this hype we have been hearing from politicians in the states of Washington and Kansas just doesn’t jive!
Boeing routinely partners with foreign aeronautical companies.
This contract will create many, many jobs in this country. Only, most of them will come to fruition in the southeast instead of Seattle!
Military security being outsourced to France is a complete misnomer! In fact, it is an insult to the U.S. Air Force, Northrop Grumman and the people of Alabama!!!!!!!
If Boeing delays this inevitable contract award, they should be held to task for doing so and endangering our military personnel. It would serve them better to get busy and make that invisible fence they have been paid for work!
